Chapter 236: The Mermaids Join

On the morning of September 29, the game world of Endless Sea was less than two days away from the end of the eleventh game cycle.

It was approaching noon, and the sun was shining brightly in the clear autumn sky.

The bright sunlight somewhat diluted the gray haze caused by the volcanic ash, making it difficult for the strange bugs flying and crawling in the square to hide.

"Hmm - I don't know very well, maybe."

When asked by Benjamin whether he had been promoted, Li Feng had to be vague.

The mediocre cufflinks of the relic made him look like he was only at the second level, but in fact Li Feng had been promoted to the fifth level. When he took action to kill the strange bugs, although he kept his strength, he still had to reveal his secrets.

But it doesn't matter, the chief of Violet Eyes ordered that all extraordinary beings below the third level must evacuate the square.

Now, there happens to be a reason to stay.

Because there was a gap between Li Feng's apparent strength and the strength he showed when he took action, Benjamin was confused.

But now that the situation is urgent, it is not the time to think about it carefully. In just a few moments of wondering, those scary and strange insects came again.

"Go quickly."

The sound of strange insects flapping their wings rang in his ears, and Li Feng reminded Benjamin to keep walking.

On the other side of the square, in order to deal with the strange insects, the great mages of the Violet Eyes have established a spell barrier as a defense and organized an orderly counterattack.

Hearing Li Feng's greeting and seeing the magic barrier in the distance, Benjamin immediately stopped worrying and hurriedly followed.

Along the way, because the cocoon released a large number of strange bugs, they were not spared. Li Feng and Benjamin encountered all kinds of bugs flying in the sky and crawling on the ground.

Benjamin, who thought he had a higher rank than Li Feng, naturally rushed in front, but Li Feng didn't say anything and only fired at the right time.

With his rank of fifth level, even with limited strength, he can easily kill insects whose strength is equivalent to that of third level.

Therefore, Li Feng and Benjamin had a smooth journey, and they also solved the troubles around them.

Because the extraordinary beings who had been helped by the two people all chose to go with them, so soon, more and more extraordinary beings followed them.

Seeing this, Li Feng simply gathered them together, killed the strange bugs together, and rushed to the other side of the square together.

Because there were many people, they could focus on the same target, and because Li Feng secretly knew the truth, everyone quickly arrived at the other side of the square smoothly.

After passing through a layer of dull purple light, they finally entered the magic defense barrier set up by the Violet Eye.

"Have you been promoted?"

Just as everyone around him was relieved and relieved, Li Feng felt his shoulders sink, and Kestrel hugged him and asked.

Since there were so many people following Li Feng and Benjamin, the people at Violet Eyes had already paid attention to them.

Kestrel saw something was wrong, so he asked Li Feng when he saw it.

"Maybe, I can't say for sure."

For the natives, extraordinary promotion does not have a data-based panel like players, everything is based on feeling.

Li Feng understood this, so he simply used this to fool him.

As a player, he definitely doesn't want to reveal all his cards, nor does he want to be noticed by many people or forces.

This has nothing to do with his trust in Kestrel, only whether it is convenient for him to act in the future.

After being promoted to the fifth level, Li Feng weighed the pros and cons. Fame and social status would definitely bring him a lot of conveniences.

But at the same time, his rapid promotion will inevitably make other players speculate about his identity.

Players who have traveled through the same world are okay, because Li Feng now has the absolute leading strength, but what about those stowaways?

Being remembered by someone hiding in the dark is never a good thing, not to mention that in the future, he will have more fragments of the Creator to collect.

Having an identity that attracts too much attention is not safe and may slow down your efficiency.

The gains outweigh the losses to some extent, and on the other hand, the experience of the extreme zombie apocalypse also made Li Feng more willing to keep a hand in everything.

"You can't tell either?"

After hearing Li Feng's answer, Kestrel was stunned. He thought for a while:

"It seems that you really should find a hunter teacher, and it's time to systematically learn some knowledge and inheritance."

In the Endless Sea, just as those who pray for light are in the church and those who hide are in the Black and White Courtyard, the hunters' base camp is located in the forest of the Hunting Goddess on the northern island.

There, newly promoted extraordinary beings as hunters can receive guidance from experienced hunter teachers and grow more correctly.

"When this matter ends today..."

Kestrel raised his finger and pointed at the statue in the center of the square:

"If you are willing, I will write you a letter of recommendation, and you can learn more knowledge that will be useful to you in the forest of the Hunting Goddess."

He probably felt that Li Feng was a bit too wild to practice and advance on his own, so Kestrel said.

Although it might not be necessary, Li Feng still nodded in agreement and thanked Kestrel for his kindness.

Since they were already within the magic barrier of the Violet Eye at this time, it was difficult for the strange insects to enter, and the orderly counterattack was also smooth, so everyone was able to breathe.

As for Li Feng, although his rank was "uncertain", because of his outstanding performance in fighting the strange bugs, no one asked Li Feng to leave from the safe road behind the barrier.

While here, Li Feng also met many acquaintances, including the Spellweaver Candice of the Earth Ring, the Dreamkeeper Jane, and the female dwarf Archmage Liquor with Violet Eyes.

"Mr. Lai Yin, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, but I really hope we meet at the wine table."

Lijiu greeted Li Feng, but the current situation really left the female dwarf helpless.

"Oh, by the way, I just saw you dealing with those bugs, come here to replenish some energy."

Lijiu said, calling Li Feng to accompany him, and took him to a row of long tables with many potions and food on them.

"They are all magical creations."

Lijiu picked up a glass of clear water, handed it to Li Feng and said:

"It doesn't taste very good, but it can quickly restore your energy and clear your mind."

Li Feng thanked him and took it. As Lijiu said, the water did not taste good. It had the dryness of plant juice, but the clear feeling after drinking it was very comfortable.

Looking around, Li Feng discovered that Violet Eyes had actually built a small camp here.

There is a place to replenish strength, a place to bandage and treat the wounded, and the gryphon in front is responsible for transporting the seriously injured and supplies.

Under the command of Chief Violet Eyes, although this small camp is busy, it is not chaotic.

‘Are they planning to prepare for a long battle? ’

Based on this situation, Li Feng began to figure out his plan.

Chief Merlin planned to wait for Governor Fell and the Dean of the Black and White Academy to join forces, but Li Feng's plan was to find an opportunity to seal the cocoon now.

Looking at the situation and terrain ahead, Li Feng began to plan. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a golden light flashing from the corner of his eyes.

Looking up, he saw that the source of the golden glow was actually a man dressed as gorgeously as a pope.

Merlin, the chief of Violet Eyes, has always attracted too much attention, so Li Feng recognized him.

At that moment, Chief Merlin came over and asked Archmage Lijiu about the magic barrier and when the Dean of the Black and White Academy would arrive.

Lijiu answered one by one, and because Li Feng and Lijiu were together, and just now, Chief Merlin also noticed that Li Feng led everyone across the square to kill the insects.

He felt that this young man seemed to be quite capable, so he took advantage of his busy schedule to say hello to him.

Upon seeing this, Lijiu immediately introduced Li Feng, and briefly mentioned that some time ago, Li Feng translated historical materials for Violet Eyes to resolve the impact of the Theater of Sadness.

Chief Merlin naturally knew about this, and he was somewhat surprised. When he looked at Li Feng again, he felt a little more disapproving.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lai Yin. I have long admired your name. If there is no Lava Lord here, we can definitely have a good chat."

The chief said something polite, and Li Feng responded politely.

Then the chief, who was in charge of the overall situation and had many affairs, felt a little regretful when he saw that Li Feng was not of a high rank, so he asked Li Feng to help take care of and transport the wounded.

It was a safe and easy job in the rear for him.

Li Feng agreed, but this was not the purpose of his coming here.

Taking advantage of the busy camp and no one paying attention, Li Feng went to the front. After all, his purpose was to seal the cocoon.

When Li Feng almost came to the vicinity of the purple magic barrier, he found that probably as the confrontation between the two sides intensified, or the cocoon was closer to fully awakening, the strange insect servants he released were getting stronger and stronger.

Some of those big bugs with venomous eyes or fleshy tumors all over their bodies have been able to cross the barrier and enter the camp to attack the extraordinary.

Li Feng watched those insects fighting and found that their strength was about the fourth level.

Maybe it was because he had too many acquaintances. When he was near the purple barrier, Li Feng saw Chenxing who was clearing away strange bugs.

Morningstar is a third-level concealer. Although the concealer is very good at fighting, Morningstar still has a hard time facing strange insects that are stronger than him.

"It would be great if your sea tumor could come ashore."

After getting rid of a millipede that was leaking green pus, Chenxing stroked his hair that was stuck to his forehead due to sweat and said to Li Feng.

Unlike Benjamin and Chief Merlin, Chenxing more or less guessed that Li Feng had some hidden strength.

I still remember that he controlled the sea tumor to directly destroy a large ship. Morning Star mentioned the sea tumor again.

Li Feng smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but fortunately, no one asked him to retreat protectively now.

Looking towards the center of the square, Li Feng could see clearly the prismarine statue that had gradually broken into pieces, separated by a pale purple barrier and a large number of scary insects.

At this time, the originally holy statues of the Seven Gods were covered with deep and wide cracks, and from those cracks, many white nets grew out.

One end of them is stuck to the ground, and the other end is connected to the statue. At a glance, they are densely packed and messy everywhere.

And those scary and scary insects are emerging from these nets one by one.

After roughly seeing what was going on, Li Feng was about to ask Chenxing something, but when he was about to speak, the sound of crushing ore sounded in his ears again.

Compared with the previous time, the shattering sound this time was louder. Li Feng, who was inside the magic barrier, even felt the tremor of the ground being hit by heavy objects.

Li Feng turned around to look alertly and discovered.

At this time, the prismarine used to wrap the cocoon had all shattered and fallen to the ground. A huge white cocoon-like thing about two meters high and one meter wide stood upright in the middle of the square.

Looking carefully, the outer layer of the cocoon shell made of white silk threads was slightly translucent. In the noon sun, Li Feng could see something moving in the cocoon shell.

It is the true form of the lava lord's cocoon, and there is only one final step left in his awakening.

"Well!"

There was a muffled groan next to her. After looking directly at Cocoon, the third-level Chenxing suddenly staggered. She covered her heart with both hands and leaned forward, looking very uncomfortable.

And not just Chenxing, many extraordinary beings around them were feeling unwell.

"How are you?"

Seeing Chenxing in pain, Li Feng helped her and asked.

"Alright...alright, eh? What's wrong with you?"

Chenxing was shocked to see that Li Feng was not affected at all, but just when she couldn't help asking, Li Feng suddenly turned his head to look at the cocoon.

At the same time, Chenxing felt a great malice coming from the front.

Instinctively, she staggered back a few steps.

On the other side, a few seconds after the huge cocoon shell was completely exposed, Li Feng could not tell whether it was in his ears or in his mind, and suddenly a gloomy and hoarse voice, as if it sounded in the wilderness, sounded:

"Foreign termites--"

And with this sentence came a malice that was thick and substantial, composed of filthy power.

The Lava Lord has the ability to discover players, as expected.

"Heh."

Having been discovered, Li Feng said nothing more, just focused on being alert.

At the back of the camp, the unusual movement of the cocoon attracted the attention of the chief of the Violet Eye. His figure flashed, and when he appeared again, he had come to the front of the barrier.

But what greeted the Chief was the filthy power that was about to hit him. When he sensed it, Chief Merlin's body and mind trembled suddenly.

Even if the Chief didn't want to admit it, this was the fear that he instinctively produced when facing absolute strength.

In an instant, all kinds of emotions surged in Chief Merlin's heart.

The powerlessness brought by the gap in strength, the desire to be promoted to the fifth level, the hesitation of the mermaid to cut off the path of transcendence, the suspicion of the governor and the dean's delay, all kinds of emotions surged in the Chief's heart uncontrollably.

But the Chief was a high-level transcendent after all, and he immediately understood that his complicated state of mind was magnified by the influence of the cocoon.

Concentrating and calming down, the Chief suppressed the confusion in his heart.

Seeing the form of the cocoon at this time, he also understood that the cocoon was about to wake up completely. Now was the last moment and he had to deal with it carefully.

Worried that the barrier would collapse, the Chief immediately used all his strength to condense the power of the weaver to control the elements and prepare to deal with the filthy power rushing towards the magic barrier.

But as he prepared for the battle, the chief unexpectedly discovered that the filthy power coming from the cocoon was not aimed at the magic barrier he had built, but at a person.

Looking carefully, the chief was surprised to find that the person was Lai Yin, whom he had just met.

‘It doesn’t make sense that the cocoon is targeting a low-level extraordinary person. Is it just a coincidence? ’

In a flash, the chief was surprised, but then he felt sorry. He knew that Lai Yin would never be able to withstand the attack of the Lava Lord.

And because the cocoon’s target was too clear, he was afraid that he would not be able to protect him. It was a pity for his knowledge.

Thoughts were in the mind, but reality was only a moment.

Just as the chief was thinking this, he suddenly heard the ethereal singing accompanied by the waves.

Like the filthy power that was like substance, these songs seemed to have condensed into substance.

They were connected in the air, and in the gaps in the square, around each extraordinary person, they formed a water wall like waves.

The crystal clear and translucent water wall obscured the scene in front of people, but what surprised everyone was that these water walls actually removed the turbulent and majestic filthy power just now.

"Mermaid! It's the mermaid's song!"

Chief Merlin realized something and shouted in shock.

The mermaid who took away the underwater city and cut off the path to transcendence actually took action?

Looking around hurriedly, Merlin did not see the mermaid, but he found that due to the timely intervention of the mermaid, his magic barrier for defense was intact.

And Lai Yin, who he thought would definitely not survive that attack, was also intact.

With a hesitant mood rising from his heart, Chief Merlin walked towards Li Feng.
